How about and brand new installed one that fires up, rough idles for about 5 seconds, increases idle and smooths out as it seems to lean off, and then stops/dies. It can be revved up if I am quick enough on the throttle, can hold it on high rpm's but as soon as it comes down in speed/rpm's, it dies but it can be reaccelerated after a big gasp and a couple of "pops" and will rev up again, if you are quick enough? Should have put an Edelbrock on it!

Hi, i use 30003 with new style dotted handheld but i have no tach or 2wire coil in the initial setting? Why? Should i update my handheld?

[@FiTechEFImedia]

The 30003 does not have the timing control feature therefore the setting is not there to turn it on.

I have a 2 inch spacer on a brand new fitech unit gold 600 easy street. I have to keep on the throttle to keep it alive. Do I need to adjust the throttle for more air?

[@FiTechEFImedia]

It does sound like it. See the IAC adjustment video.

What if it fires up then dies about 10 times before it idles
